New York Metro Contested Divorce Attorney
For many people, resolving issues in a divorce through mediation is a favorable option to litigation. For others, they are entering divorce with no possibility of coming to an agreement on anything - especially important matters like time spent with children or property rights. In some marriages, there has been abuse and domestic violence which makes it impossible for the couple to work together because of the fear and imbalance of power between the spouses.
At the Law Office of Paul B. Groman, we provide aggressive advocacy for these clients through divorce litigation. We help clients understand the divorce process; protect their rights and fight to achieve their goals. Contact us for a confidential consultation with a contested divorce lawyer in our downtown Brooklyn office.
New York Divorce Laws - Grounds for Divorce
Under New York divorce laws, couple petitioning for divorce must prove the grounds for the divorce. The following are considered grounds for divorce in New York:
- Adultery
- Cruel and inhuman treatment (domestic violence)
- Imprisonment
- Abandonment for one year, either constructive (no sex) or locked out of home
- Legal separation for one year
As an experienced New York City family law attorney, Paul Groman understands the laws for divorce in New York and how these laws apply to each client.
Thorough Trial Preparation and Dedicated Advocacy in Divorce Litigation
Our law firm is dedicated to protecting our clients' interests in divorce litigation. Our firm listens to clients and reviews the factors contributing to the failure of the marriage to determine which grounds for divorce apply in each case. We then go to work preparing for trial.
When issues, such as child custody, property division, spousal support (alimony) and visitation are contested, we prepare a solid case to present in court. In spousal support and property disputes, we identify hidden assets, evaluate income and address complex property issues, such as business interests. Likewise, in child custody disputes, we carefully review records of history of abuse, domestic violence or other issues which may impact child custody or visitation.
At the Law Office of Paul B. Groman, we do everything we can to present our client in the most favorable position in order to achieve the most favorable result at trial.
